Geneva and Astana talks on Syria complete each other as one of them is concerned with political track while the other is concerned with logistic and military situation on the ground in order to reach a solution to the nearly 7-year-old terror war imposed on the country.

These talks have positive outcomes as they elucidated the reality of events taking place in Syria before the public opinion and international community, led to the declaration of the ‘cessation of hostilities’ agreement last year and asserted adherence to Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, according to Dr. Ahmad Kuzbari, member of the Syrian Arab Republic’s delegation to Astana and Geneva talks.

LATTAKIA- The big challenges and difficulties produced by the seven-year terrorist war on Syria, particularly in the education domain, necessitated an urgent response by the Syrian government to make major infrastructure adjustment to absorb the growing number of students who left schools because of terrorism in several provinces.

Shedding light on the education situation in Lattakia province under the ongoing crisis, the Syriatimes e-newspaper interviewed Mr. Omran Abo Khalil, Director of Education there.

"Education is the key to Syria's future. The ongoing crisis in Syria has affected all walks of life in the country and caused damage to all sectors, particularly education," Mr. Abo Khalil said, asserting that the terrorist war waged on Syria has been a major barrier to quality education for all in the country.

Two days ago, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Lewaa Iskenderun- Syrian Resistance published a video message on its Facebook page about the determination of Idlib province’s residents to fight Turkish troops that illegitimately entered the province accompanied by al-Nusra Front terrorists.

“We promise the homeland and the leader of the homeland that we will fight the forces of evil that entered our country illegitimately. We will defend our homeland. And as we fight al-Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham and the others, we will fight their spiritual father Erdogan and its army. Syria will never kneel down,” a man said in the video.

The illegal incursion of Turkish troops into Idlib province few days ago comes within the barbaric and expansionist mentality of the Turkish regime’s head Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, according to the leader of Popular Front for the Liberation of Lewaa Iskenderun- Syrian Resistance Ali Kayyali, who told us in an interview via Facebook messenger that Ottoman sultanate - just like Israel [Zionist entity]-cannot live without enemy and wars.

The Republic of Belarus is one of Syria’s friends that offered support to Syrian people and government in several fields during the ongoing terror war being waged on the country since 2011. Its strong support has been remarkable in the sectors of healthcare, education, economy, politics and humanitarian aid.

This support has been among the factors that help alleviate the suffering of affected people in Syria and it is based on the strong historic and friendly relations between the two countries.

Rep.Tulsi Gabbard has underscored that the U.S. government has been violating law for years by quietly supporting allies and partners of al-Qaeda, ISIL and other terrorist groups with money, weapons and intelligence support to overthrow the Syrian government.

Commenting on a question sent to her by the Syriatimes e-newspaper’s reporter- via e-mail-  about US intervention in Syria, the American politician said: “Under U.S. law it is illegal for any American to provide money or assistance to al-Qaeda, ISIS or other terrorist groups. If you or I gave money, weapons or support to al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would be thrown in jail.”
